Diocesan Pastoral Council

The Diocese of Fargo Diocesan Pastoral Council is a consultative body to the Bishop. Its members assist him by advising him, presenting his questions to the faithful whom they represent, and assisting in coordinating diocesan activities. They also assist the faithful of the diocese by presenting their concerns and responses to the Bishop’s pastoral initiatives. In this way, the Diocesan Pastoral Council serves as a visible source of unity in the diocese.
